It does seem to be a pretty common idea floating around.

It's good to be a zealous fan for your team but one should also stay grounded with reality. The Cards were beaten by San Fran who was totally taken apart last week by Pittsburgh. If Warner is the starter the Cards may put up more points but I still don't see them winning. If Lazy Leinart is the starter it will be very ugly indeed.

I hope so, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. A win? Eh...A cover? I think so.

Incidentally, I refer to him as "Lazy Leinart" because after the first game he admitted he didn't study any game film in preparation for San Fran. Like it didn't show! Nice.

Keep in mind AZ was on the road and SF was on the road. Trust me this is a lock down.And to think The wiz kid and Grimm have not been looking foward to this game all summer is crazy. I think it will be a blowout and I am honestly not fishing here.Only thing that would kill us is Matt. Hopefully he's on a VERY short leash.

Billy Ball Thorton was the first person on this board to state the Cardinals would beat the undefeated Bears in the Monday night game last year. They certainly gave Chicago a run for their money, and one of the best press conferences to date.
It doesn't look good for Arizona, but I give the OP credit for sticking with his team.
I'm not really a fan of either team, but I do hope it is a good game.

With Boldin/Fitz and sprinkle a little Edge and Rackers FG gives you 31I think they were able to put up 17 second half point on the Ravens on the road.so i see it like this Ravens D > Steelers D@Home>>>>>>> on the road

No chance with Leinart, maybe a chance with Warner...if we hop in the time machine and travel back to 1999.Although, thinking about it, the last back to run for 100 yards against the Steelers was Edge. Indy's o-line is a little better than Arizona's though.

Sorry bro but I'm thinking this year Steelers D > Ravens D

The only way this happens is if Warner plays at least 3 quarters. The only way. Well, I guess if the Steelers score about 3 TD's against themselves then this could happen but if that doesn't work they will need Warner for 3 quarters at least....
The best thing that could happen to the Cards this weekend is that Leinart throws a bad pick early and gets the hook...

Would not be surprised. The cards have looked pretty good running the ball, and they put up 23 @ BAL.
Don't underestimate a) the desire of the Cards to win this game, not just for the coaches but also because of the close loss @ BAL, or b) the value of the Cards' staff knowing PIT's weekend.
Remember TB-OAK?

I don't believe this is accurate in 2007.As good as the Ravens defense as been for the past few seasons, they are also consistently overrated. While opposition must be factored in as part of the explanation, the Ravens are 7th in overall defense, 1st against the run, 19th against the pass, and 16th in points allowed. The Steelers are 2nd overall, 7th against the run, 6th against the pass, and 1st in points allowed. The Steelers lead the Ravens in sacks 12-6, and in takeaways 6-5.

They've had "With Boldin/Fitz and sprinkle a little Edge" for a year now and with Leinart in there they still are stagnant. No matter how many sprinkles you put on a piece of s#*! its still a piece of #$*t.

Well they have looked good agianst Browns w/charlie frye That really good looking Offense in BuffaloAnd the Gun Slinger Alex Smith in SF AND I might add the Cards Held them to 90 less yards and were on the road (BOOM)People are going to look back at this week and think (the writing was on the wall) and everything I am saying will make total sense.

The Steelers have played the easiest schedule to date, so I can see how they might be overrated right now. But, they have won each game convincingly, which is what you are supposed to do vs. teams like CLE, BUF, and SF.
This will likely be their toughest game so far. An upset is certainly possible. I think ARZ will have to be at least +2 in takeaways to win this game. I was impressed with ARZ's comeback in Baltimore, and Warner certainly provided some spark for the offense.
This will likely be closer than many people think, but I hardly see a Cardinals' blowout win.

Frye was in for 1 quarter. Anderson didn't do anything for 3 quarters. I like how you mention San Fran's offense, but not Frank Gore. Don't forget about how they're most likely going to shut down the Cards run game. So do you feel confident in Leinart throwing the ball 35 times?

Certainly the Cards can win, but if the Steelers continue playing well in all three phases of the game they will win the game.
And as a Cards homer, why not make these outlandish claims? Then if you are right you look like a genius and if you are wrong people's opinions won't change because you already look like a fool

Whatever dude... You being a Steeler since 2005 (after they won the Superbowl) does not give you the right to call me a fool.I have backed up my outlandish claim with reason. So when the Cards win this game I will not bump this thread to say "hey look at me I am smart". I am stating NOW the cards will win the game.Certainly the Cards can win, but if the Steelers continue playing well in all three phases of the game they will win the game.And as a Cards homer, why not make these outlandish claims?

Going through my pool picks yesterday I picked the Cards to win. They are a better team than people give them credit for. Nearly knocking off San Fran on the road, beating Seattle, and almost coming back against a tough Baltimore D on the road. The Cardinals are going to surprise some people this year. Not to mention Whisenhunt knows Pitt inside out.

:( You can't run it on the Steelers. That means Leinart would have to beat them. Not going to happen.

No, he knows the pale imitation that he ruined last year. Same names different team this year. If he's game-planning to stop the team he "knows", Steelers will win by 30.

I disagree. I think the Cards will have some success running the ball. They have ran well vs 3 decent teams. I do wish Warner was starting though.You can't run it on the Steelers. That means Leinart would have to beat them. Not going to happen.

Since 2004 the Steelers are 13-1 vs. the NFC.
Since 2004 the Cardinals are 2-11 vs. the AFC.
Good luck.

The Steelers are the same old (very good) Steelers.The Cardinals are becoming a very good team.Difficult to look at past trends and draw meaningful conclusions here, IMHO.

Props to you if you're right, but I'm guessing you'll end up in the dung heap of the "mark it down" crowd who were laughed into silence when they were proven wrong.

I will be surprised if the Cards come out and call the right type of game to beat the Steelers. Whiz seems to be following the Cowher mold of establishing the run at all costs to setup the pass. The problem is running the ball at the Steelers is not how you beat them. The cards have the types of weapons at WR that could give the Steelers problems, but I don't think Leinart is skilled enough to attack the Steelers and unless that line has a huge day Warner doesn't move enough to avoid a lot of hurries/sacks etc. If it is Matt Leinart the whole game I don't see a cards win, **** LeBau will drive Leinart back to Britney Spears arms.
Road game against former coaches for a team that wants to make a statement does scare me some and I do so expect a closer game.
Steelers 24 Cards 17
